Is performing umrah fardh

Q: A person has not yet performed his fardh hajj because it will cost about 5 lakhs to go for hajj, but he has 50,000 rupees with him with which he can go for umrah. Now does umrah become fardh upon him or he should save that 50,000 for performing hajj?

A: Umrah is not a fardh action.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
